Choosing Monthly TBR



So I want to change the way TBR is chosen. We will leave it a bit more to chance and it will be more like a lottery game.

Let's explain it a bit.

I will have 4 different Jars.

Jar #1 will contain little paper slips with numbers going from 5 to 13. This will represent the number of prompt draws.

Jar #2 will contain the reading prompts / mini-challenges for me. Each prompt will have to be paired with a book, no doubling up allowed. So depending on the draws that will be the minimal number of books that will have to be read that month.

Prompts included:
  • Recent buy
  • second chance
  • sister's pick
  • unfinished last month
  • Carry on from the previous tbr
  • ya fantasy
  • adult fantasy
  • poetry
  • classic
  • Spanish author
  • Mexican author
  • Latin American author
  • author of color
  • non-fiction
  • over 500 pages
  • manga/comic/graphic novel
  • ya contemporary
  • fiction
  • mystery/thriller
  • middle grade
  • children's book
  • short story collection
  • low expectations
  • new author
  • representation
  • hyped book
  • 5 star preduction
  • tbr vet
  • small read
  • youtube recommendation
  • continue series
  • standalone
  • reread
  • sci-fi
  • jar pick
  • historical fiction
  • paranormal/magical realism
  • romance
  • dystopian/utopia
  • gr recommendations
  • read an adapted book
  • retelling
  • start a new series
  • grim tales (#)
  • Allan Poe (#)

Most are pretty self-explanatory. The only one that maybe needs to be discussed is the Jar Pick. This is another list of books I have in pdf format be on my computer or bought on Kindle that have been there for a while. As digital reading tires me out much faster I tend to accumulate them there for a while and not read them. So a few of those will be included and if that one comes up, we will draw one and read it that month.

Jar #3 this is for a very specific prompt. I have included the stories of at least two authors who have several short stories. So if one of those comes up, then I will do another draw of this one and the number that comes up will the stories to be read that month.

Jar #4 List of books in Digital version that have been sitting on the wait list too long.

  1. This was a complete failure, I have a very hard time to get through all my TBR as it is and I just continue to make super intimidating ones. Who makes TBRs with over 15 books? Why do I do that to myself?
